4S Ranch gets a second wind.

exactly good points. Right now for a European to live here it would cost him $500k Euro but for us americans with a worthless dollar the same home would be $650k. As our dollar hits the skids foreigners can afford to move here and get more bang from trading for greenbacks.

vrundy. lol you make me laugh. Isn’t all of San Diego a giant sand pit with nice homes put up? Almost all of the foliage is planted by man. This whole city would be nothing more than sand dunes with dust balls. Just look at Camp Pendleton area. That is what San Diego looked like. 4S is a nice place and now opens right into Del Sur and CV. No need to hit the ugly 15 to get in and out like it was years ago. But honestly if I rented a condo I would be disgruntled as well about nice houses that I couldn’t afford. Actually wait. I am. lol.

Foreigners will come to America only if they can get a green card. Would you buy in a country where you can’t be guaranteed residency much less a tourist visa?

I have friends overseas who don’t even want to visit America because it’s too much of a hassle. First you have to pay non-refundable $100 with your visa application with no guaranteed of being granted the visa. Then you have to come back for the interview. To them, the hassle is not worth a holiday in America.

EU and Japanese citizens can come to America without a tourist visa but they have to apply for residency.

I agree with your comments about Vancouver, one of my favorite cities. In the 1990s you could get a house for $200k in Vancouver and many Hong Kongers bought there because with their money, they could get residency and eventually citizenship (they needed a safe haven when HK was returned to China). I’m not sure of the exact details but if you bring $100k into Canada, you can get residency. In America you need $1 million plus create 10 new jobs (they have inspections to verify that). That means that you have to open up and operate a business. You can’t invest in passive income businesses such real estate or the stock market.

Have the US ever said no to a giving someone from china a visa? Heck no. Do they move here with Visas? heck no. Doesn’t California have millions og illegals? they aren’t all poor people from mexico. A lot are “tourists” with breifcases filled with mao money.

I agree that 4S Ranch will be a good destination for the jobs that are coming. In 5 years those buildings as well as all the new ones being put up in Carlsbad and along the 5 corridor will be full of tenants. I expect at least one major Silicon Valley firm to open a campus here.

Plenty of Chinese get rejected for visas. There’s always a long line at the US Consulate in Beijing.

Illegals don’t want to be found so they won’t buy. If you think that illegal foreigners will rescue the estate market, you’ll be waiting a long time.

We should sell our visas just like the Canadians do. (Sarcasm on) Better attract the rich than the poor. We might as well be business minded about it. How about giving a green card to anyone who can buy a house in America with cash? Would that help RE?

I hear that Costa Rica is becoming a little Taiwan because they also sell their residency. Well-do-to Taiwanese buy homes there so their children can learn English. Cheaper than going to school in USA, England, Australia or New Zealand.
